Silly question, but is there a way to check from my PP what version have i got installed at the moment?
Well, if you actually can write messages in Russian (I certainly can't), then suggest it.

I mean Astak's Achilles heel is the lack of a backing database on the unit, or any kind of on-unit book sorting or searching utility. That's unlikely to be overcome, so the next best thing is simply being able to SAVE pointers to your most wanted books with some ease. Sure, somebody's going to come along and remind us that you can always move files around to do this, but honestly... why should it be that complicated? An "Add to Favorites" would do the same thing in effect, and without messing up whatever normal sort order/directory structure you normally use (I have Calibre pop letter specific directories down, A-Z, stemming from the last name of each author, then add author specific directories underneath each letter--thereby preventing me from having to hit the "Page Down" button a thousand times or so to find a specific author who falls later in the Alphabet... this is of course only necessary because I insist on having the majority of my ebook collection on my unit at all times).
